property overview

Villa La Massa rises out of Tuscany's bucolic splendor like a Renaissance fantasy.

Surrounded by twenty-two acres of gardens, olive and lemon groves, Villa La Massa, part of Villa d'Este Hotels, rises out of Tuscany's bucolic splendor like a Renaissance fantasy. The renowned property is located just outside of Florence, but feels worlds away. Built in the 16th century for a member of the Medicis, Villa La Massa is composed of three classic ochre-and-pink colored villas with rooms and suites that feature authentic Florentine decor, locally crafted canopy beds and serene Arno river views. While known as a romantic hideaway, with a traditional Italian and Tuscan restaurant and a 400-bottle wine list, Villa La Massa also features a newly created Iris collection garden, the chef's organic garden and the new ARNO SPA featuring products of the Officina Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella.
